MM Molokai Mike Member the birthplace of the Mai Tai Joined: Jun 26, 2003 Posts: 513	MM Molokai Mike Posted posted on Wed, Apr 23, 2008 4:55 PM Every Thursday is Classic Cocktail night at FI, in which we showcase a drink - one night only - from the annals of Tiki history. So in addition to the Layover, we are pouring the Lani Honi, from the Matson Line SS Mariposa (1962 menu). A delicious blend of Benedictine, Lemon Juice and light Rum. In the words of the King himself, "We're flying, coming your way Aloha, Hawaii, USA" See ya tomorrow at Jab's Flight Lounge!

And dangit, it looks like I don't have any offical pilot's type crew uniform. Does a suit with a cheap ass Disneyland skipper's hat, and a wings pin on the lapel count? Oh hey, isn't tonight Forbidden Island's 2nd anniversary? This sounds like a great way to kick off another year!

This sounds like a great way to kick off another year! Technically, our anniversary date was the 22nd (Tuesday). I can't believe it's been two years already!! We'll be marking the occasion on Sunday with the Mug release, but the real celebration will be at the Luau on May 18th. ( Now onto Flight Lounge. Wow!! What a great time!! With "Airport" playing on the bar TV, Jab's international DJ mix and the terrific flight uniforms, FI was indeed transported to the Golden Age of travel. Thanks to all who were there and especially those who made the effort to dress the part. I'm already looking forward to the next one (May 29th) Here's some pics: "There's no better way to fly" Captain Mike and Stewardess Stephanie welcome all aboard Flight FI "Don't call me slurrey!" Pilot CP prepares for take-off "We'll take more care of you" Our gorgeous Stewardess does her rounds "Fly the friendly skies" Captain Mike shares a moment with Stewardess Humuhumu and Fighter-Pilot friend "We love to fly" (Sleazy) Pilot DJ Jab steals a moment from the cockpit to hit on Stewardess Carrie "Life is a journey, Travel it well" [ Edited by: Conga Mike 2008-04-25 15:57 ]

Let's do it again next month. Hopefully we'll see more girls wearing costumes. I think there were more pilots last night than stewardesses. The Lani Honi was delicious!
T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 4:42 PM Oh yeah, happy anniversary to my home away from home! I was looking forward to celebrating it but spaced on it on Tuesday. On Wednesday I went in expecting a whole bunch of TC Ohana celebrating but there were just a handful of us. I guess I showed up too late - at around 10:30. Can't wait for the luau so we can really celebrate.

Ground & Cabin Crew Dude, check out the tracers! Whoa... Elisa's killer BOAC bag & our Thursday drink special! There was some amusement about the name brand of my ear protection. But not as much amusement as there was about our film of choice: 1974's "seminal" epic "The Naughty Stewardesses".

We'll be showing another Airport movie (1977?, 1979?), and "Blazing Stewardesses"! Yeehaw! Blazing Saddles with stewardesses! And music that will get you dancing in the aisles!

As we boarded our flight, we were greeted by Stephanie, our lovely space waitress ... er ... stewardess ... or flight attendant ... hell, whatever the politically correct term is these days :roll: Finally, as we approached 8:00pm, our pilot informed us that we were clear for take-off. Seems he was already high as a kite!

I just finished a slide show of vintage stewardess images that will be shown tomorrow night. We will also be showing some vintage TV ads from Braniff Airlines, the famous airline campaign that in the 60s announced "The End of the Plain Plane". They had Emilio Pucci design new flight attendant and pilot uniforms, Alexander Girard design the plane interiors, terminal lounges, and ticket counters, and in the 70s even had Alexander Calder decorate the outside of some of their planes.

Your flight has been rescheduled to second Thursdays for November, December, and January due to the holidays (and my vacation in January).

I have some great 60s groovy Italian buttshakers and lots of swinging 60s and 70s "sound library" music from France and the UK to accompany our flight to remote lands. And Lee will be making her debut as our stewardess in a vintage-era United Airlines dress, as seen in the ad below! We take off tomorrow at 8:00. This is gonna be a great one - don't miss it!
